In the United States, a pint is 16 US fluid ounces (473 mL). However, the typical conical pint glass holds 16 oz. to its rim. With a half inch of foam, the actual liquid fill is roughly 14 oz.
As a unit of volume, the fluid ounce is equal to 1/16of a pint, or 29.57 millilitres, in the U.S. Customary System and to 1/20of a pint, or 28.41 millilitres, in the British Imperial System. As a unit of weight, the ounce derives from the Roman uncia (meaning âtwelfth partâ), which was 1/12 of a Roman foot or ounce.
